I mentioned this one earlier. A great film, directed by Frank Darabont (Shawshank, Green Mile). While the premise is more than a bit far-fetched, it really works, and Carrey gives a solid, completely straight-up performance.

Definitely worth a look for anyone who hasn't seen it.

He really is crazy. He admitted being depressed all the time and being on medication. How many wives/gf’s has he gone through? Shit ton of money and this dipshit is depressed.

Cuz money clearly ain't everything. Like I said, some of the most brilliantly talented people in Hollywood suffer from depression and are otherwise batshit crazy. Because of who they are, nobody lets them know that they need help. Robin Williams was a great example of the crying clown.

I have an Adam Sandler level dislike for this dude. He was funny in In Living Color, but shoulda stopped there, not my cup. I get it though, if you guys like him.

I'd add Dumb and Dumber.

Some times adolescent humor is just what the doctor ordered. I won't apologize for enjoying it from time to time.

But also, these days, fuck that guy.

I thought he was hilarious when I was a kid but for some reason he’s not as funny anymore. I guess it’s cause he got older, a lot of the best comedians became less funny with age except for Rodney Dangerfield.

It's funny. I loved Kingpin, but didn't care for Dumb and Dumber or Something About Mary. I honestly couldn't tell you why.

I've only ever seen parts of the two you mentioned but, I'm sure if I thought about it I could come up with some slapstick comedies that I don't much care for either.

You know what, The Jerk, with Steve Martin. It just doesn't do it for me yet is loved by so many (guess I should throw this mention in the other thread when I get done here). Three Amigos is great but, The Jerk mostly bores me. :-) Just one of those things.
[Reply]

I really liked The Jerk, and didn't like Three Amigos. Go figure.

Although my favorite Steve Martin comedies are Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and The Man With Two Brains. Absolutely love both of them.
[Reply]

Heh, I feel like most the time on subject of movies we are fairly close but, clearly, on the subject of slapstick comedies we are polar opposites. Which is amusing in its own peculiar way.

BUT, we do agree on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
[Reply]

Have you ever seen The Man With Two Brains? That's some serious slapstick shit right there.
[Reply]

I have not. I'll make sure to check it out whenever I come across it.

Came out in '83. Also stars a young, hot Kathleen Turner. I saw it in the theater and nearly pissed myself laughing.

I can't imagine that you wouldn't like it, but at this point, who knows? :-)
[Reply]

It's certainly a crapshoot.

Come on, that's good shit. :-)
